Episode 154: The Lady of the Dunes at 50: A Look At Cape Cod's Most Infamous Murder Case(7-24-2024)
50 years ago in July 1974, Ruth Marie Terry, the woman who would be known as The Lady of the Dunes for most of that time, was murdered and left in the remote dunes of the Province Lands in Provincetown, Massachusetts on Cape Cod.
Longtime listeners of the podcast know of my connection to this case. I wrote a book, Searching for the Lady of the Dunes, which I released in February 2023. I was deeply connected with the Lady of the Dunes documentary produced by Frank Durant.
Before that, I grew up with the story of the Lady of the Dunes living on Cape Cod. I could never have imagined being even a peripheral part of the eventual solution to this infamous case.
As the 50th anniversary of this event has arrived, I wanted to try to give a crash course in all things Lady of the Dunes. For the last year-plus, I have been giving talks about the case, the documentary, and of course my book. This here is a sort of abridged version of what those who come to my speaking engagements hear.
For those who are unfamiliar with this case and my involvement. If you end up wanting more I have several videos I made during my time working on the book, as well as Frank’s documentary, all available on my YouTube channel.
